Isn't Stan of no tubes fame playing around with a 6 speed rear wheel so it cane be dishless with fewer spokes?
great idea and can be done with standard parts you can fit 6 sprockets on a hope trials freehub. if you want to try it out, just remember to set the limit screw so you don't mash the spokes.

Can I just point out that broken chains is very unlikely to be anything to do with the width of the side plates
The sideplates are too thin, there isn't enough metal there. I saw the chain Devs broke and was astonished that it had failed in tension, first time I've seen it in 15 years. I'm never going 9 speed let alone 10 speed unless they stop making 7/8 speed stuff.
